This is the slang term for "bro" which is slang for brother..a slang inside a slang 8) THIS ORIGINATED IN THE STATE OF HAWAII! for those who think that it originated in southern california or where ever, your are miss informed. It is the pigeon (english-hawaiian slang) word that is used state wide in Hawaii not only by surfers but by all people born and raised in hawaii of all racial groups. and it pains me when i hear cali haole tourist say it.

Short for 'braddah.' Origin: Hawaiian pigeon english, 1960's and later. Meaning: My brother/ close associate/ cousin/ or Kama'aina (person FROM HAWAII). NOT used with outsiders unless they are close friends or have SOLID knowledge of Hawai'i and its culture (except jokingly, offensively). Inappropriate use by outsiders may result in 'false crack' or scorn. Best avoided by mainland haoles during break-in phase (your first 25 yrs in Hawaii).

What, brah, you get rollin' pepa? (I lost my Zig-Zags by the bus stop. With the correct answer you could benefit from my predicament)
Eh brah, watchout! (Hey you - Look out!)
Brah, you always frickin' LATE. (Your frequent tardiness is getting on my nerves)
Brah, try stan' up. You all bus' arreddy. (It's time to go home, my friend.)

Assholes who can't even say "bro" and make it worse by saying "brah", though sometimes they say bro. I am excluding the Hawaiian slang here. Brahs typically play lacrosse (big here in Maryland) and in their spare time play X-Box, get drunk with some sluts, or butt-fuck each other and claim they aren't gay, or make fun of gays because they are insecure. Brahs usually travel in groups of 4 or 5 and carry around their lacrosse sticks and make sexist "women should stay in the kitchen" jokes.

Brahs also like to wear their shorts or pants below their ass and pull their boxers up to at least mid-back. This solidifies my belief that they enjoy being ass-reamed. These guys like to brag about everything from how much they can bench press to how much pussy they get. In reality they are usually really weak and only sluts hang out with them, but they also never really get any pussy because, like I mentioned before, they are champion fudgepackers.

If you know a Brah, do him a favor and kick his ass.
